Imawa no Kuni no Alice (2020)

It is another survival game but this one has no set up and is more like "Hunger Games" than an unknown higher power running the show.

I love love love love love Alice! Been my favorite since the anime came out and then I read the manga, and then when the show was here I was literally BLOWN AWAY. it's deep, well written, no shallow characters, nothing but just an honest, but messed up sincere story. As far as adaptations go this one is literally one of my favorites and I didn't personally like L s character in Death Notes adaptation (I did like Light though, he was different from the anime Light but I like both for different reasons.) Having Kento play Arisu dude just YES. But of course I also have a real soft spot for Machida! And I know everyone is recommending the usual suspects but Usogui is really another adaptation I really enjoyed watching. Another card game arena and Yokohama Ryusei is the perfect pick for the main lead.

both have a similar 'death game' genre. they also have small 'amounts' of lgbt that is revealed near the end. they are also fast-paced and sad at times. jinroh shokei game had potential betrayal, similar to alice in borderland's heart games.

Once a month, students at Baekyeon Girls' High School cast their votes in a popularity poll. The result? A brutal ranking system that determines the entire social hierarchy of the school.

Sung Su Ji has just transferred and scores a zero. After starting at the bottom and becoming a target of school violence, can Su Ji make her way to the top of the pyramid? Or will she topple the game altogether?

Alice in borderland is the first show that came to my mind while watching this.
-- Mc transmigrated on a parallel-different world
--needs to clear different stages / doors to be alive
-- organisations playing+ first timer players, pro players are playing.
-- Dying in that world means dying in reality.
-- violence, murders , monsters, fighting
-- smart mc with a kind heart.
-- playing together and with friends and getting a card/note after completing the door/stage. Everyone wants that card/note cause it gives clue about next stages..

Arisu Ryohei—a listless, jobless and video-game-obsessed young man—suddenly finds himself in a strange, emptied-out version of Tokyo in which he and his friends must compete in dangerous games in order to survive. In this strange world, Arisu meets Usagi, a young woman who’s navigating the games alone. After a dangerous game which tests Arisu’s limits, the two set out together to unravel one mystery after another as they risk their lives and confront what it means to live.

Thieves overtake the mint of a unified Korea. With hostages trapped inside, the police must stop them — as well as the shadowy mastermind behind it all. ~~ Remake of the Spanish TV series "Money Heist" (La Casa de Papel) [2017].
